Khenpo Karten Rinpoche

Khenpo Karten Rinpoche is a Buddhist monk from Tibet.  He arrived in the United States in 2008 and decided to make his home here, establishing a permanent Buddhist facility, the Manjushri Dharma Center, in the town of Pacific Grove. This has become his main teaching location and residence in the U.S.

The Center offers weekly programs and daylong retreats, hosts Buddhist teachers from all around the world, and provides spiritual services to the surrounding community. The Center’s members are a caring Sangha of Buddhist practitioners. Rinpoche invites all to visit and participate!
